Why not purchasing physical disc for the TV series and rip the episodes from DVD in such way you can build up your disc connection while saving them against any damage or loss, and watching them on the go even when you are in a rural area.

Whereas free DVD ripping tools, such as Handbrake, do not have the native ability to unlock protection copy protections of TV episode DVDs. So a more powerful DVD ripper with decrypting ability is in demand.

Warm Prompt:

Some unexpected conditons will occur on some TV show/series DVDs, not all, when you rip several titles from TV series or TV show DVDs. The specific cases are below:

1. Rip title 1 > The actual result you get is: title 1+ title 2+ title 3;
2. Rip title 2 > The actual result you get is: title 2+ title 3.

This case does not happen often, but it does exist. The effective solution is:

Go to DVD editing section > Tick “Enable Trimming” > set the Start Time as 00:00:00 and End Time with right title length. Usually a TV series episode title is around 20-60 mins. Make your own judgment based on the specific matter.
